Best hot dogs in New York

No. 3 on that list
Worth it
  • Address113 St Marks Pl, New York, NY 10009
  • From my guide, updated March 2024.

Crif Dogs, a creative hotdog shop, is one of the best late-night food spots in NYC. Sure you can order your classic ketchup and mustard dogs here but true foodies know that one topping is never enough. At Crif Dogs expect to find combos like bacon-wrapped hotdogs with fried eggs and cheese or with pineapple, teriyaki, and scallions.

The best part is that the NYC hot dogs aren’t just fun, they’re actually good! It’s definitely a step up from your typical food cart, and always hits the spot late at night.

Fun fact: There is a speakeasy attached to this unassuming hotdog shop called Please Don’t Tell. Step inside the phone booth call the number on the sign and enjoy a fun night of cocktails and hotdogs!

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
